The Company classifies marketable securities available to fund current operations as current assets. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining contractual maturities of $671.3 million of investments were less than one year. The Company does not intend to sell the investments that are currently in an unrealized loss position, and it is highly unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. As of September 30, 2022, the Company considered any unrealized losses on our marketable securities to be driven by factors other than credit risk.
